`This is an important publication, which I urge colleagues to read
and to consider carefully all the implications' - Early Years `...
This provocative analysis with its clear examples is worth reading
for its fresh look at where we could be headed come the 21st
century'- Nursery Equipment Early childhood services in the UK have
been badly neglected. The consequences are serious: chronic
underfunding and increasing fragmentation; most staff poorly paid
and trained; access often a matter of potluck and money; low
aspirations and even lower expectations. Increasingly, young
children are seen as important for what they may become rather than
for what they are, and the case for early childhood services is
made out in terms of later performance in school and adult life
rather than the needs and rights of young children themselves. No
current political vision redresses this undervaluing of early
childhood or addresses the parlous state our early childhood
services are in. Drawing on the rich early childhood tradition in
the UK, going back to Robert Owen, and giving examples from current
practice, Transforming Nursery Education offers a critique of the
status quo, a vision of early childhood services and practical
strategies for achieving it.The book covers a wide range of day
care and education services and critical issues such as staffing,
funding, curriculum, models of provision and the age at which
children start compulsory schooling. Within this broad approach,
the book focuses in particular on the history and current practice
of nursery education. It argues that the present narrow approach to
nursery education is neither appropriate to the needs of today nor
inevitable. It answers a critical question: how can nursery
education be transformed to play a leading role in the
comprehensive, integrated and coherent early childhood service that
today's families really need?
